Abstract
Description
- 1. Field of the Invention
- This invention relates to a clip structure used for installing a wire harness, a drain hose and the like on a vehicle body panel, and also relates to a method of fixing a wire-like member.
- 2. Related Art
- There is known one conventional clip structure for installing wire harnesses on a vehicle body panel, in which a rib for abutting against the panel is formed on that portion of a base portion corresponding to a grip portion (see, for example, Unexamined Japanese Patent Publication 2001-289357).
- As shown in
FIG. 6 , the clip structure, disclosed in this publication, includes the plate-like base portion 51, a connectingleg portion 53 which is formed on a reverse surface of thebase portion 51 so as to connect thebase portion 51 to thevehicle body panel 52, anauxiliary leg portion 54 provided so as to keep a gap, formed between thebase portion 51 and thevehicle body panel 52 by the connectingleg portion 53, generally uniform, and thegrip portion 58 includingsupport posts base portion 51. Retainingprojections 56 for retaining thewire harnesses support posts 57 such that theopposed retaining projections adjacent support posts corresponding wire harness 55 against withdrawal. Therib 59 is formed on that portion of the reverse surface of thebase portion 51 corresponding to thegrip portion 58, and has such a height as to abut against thevehicle body panel 52. - In this clip structure, even if a resistance is produced by the
retaining projections wire harness 55 between the correspondingopposed support posts base portion 51 is prevented from being curved or bent toward thepanel 52, thus preventing distal ends of theopposed support posts wire harness 55 can be easily inserted between thecorresponding support posts - There is known another clip structure in which a projection is formed on an inner surface of a resilient grasp portion for contact with a reinforce, and this projection is retainingly engaged in a retaining hole formed in the reinforce (see, for example, Unexamined Japanese Patent Publication 2000-166061).
- As shown in
FIGS. 7A and 7B , in the clip structure disclosed in this publication, a band-like grasp portion 62 for grasping a wire harness 61 (comprising a bundle of wires), as well as theresilient grasp portion 64 of a generally U-shape for resiliently grasping thereinforce 63, is formed integrally on aclamp 60. Theprojection 66 is formed on a bottom of theresilient grasp portion 64, and projects toward an opening thereof, and thisprojection 66 is retainingly engaged in theretaining hole 65 formed in thereinforce 63. - In this clip structure, the
resilient grasp portion 64 of theclamp 60 for grasping thereinforce 63 has an open end, and can be opened and closed. The revolution of thewire harness 61 in a circumferential direction relative to thereinforce 63, as well as the movement of thewire harness 61 in a longitudinal direction relative to thereinforce 63, is prevented by retaining engagement of the projection 66 (formed on the inner surface of the resilient grasp portion 64) in theretaining hole 65 in thereinforce 63, and therefore thewire harness 61 can be easily attached to and detached from thereinforce 63. And besides, thewire harness 61 and thereinforce 63 are grasped by thesingle clamp 60, and therefore thewire harness 61, grasped by thegrasp portion 62, will not revolve relative to thereinforce 63. - Usually, it is desirable that a tubular member such as a drain hose be disposed in a recess, formed in a vehicle body panel so that the drain hose will not be exposed to the exterior so as to prevent the crushing of the tubular member which would otherwise occur upon striking against other member.
- In the above first publication, however, although the
wire harnesses 55 can be held on thevehicle panel 52, a tubular member such as a drain hose can not be mounted in a recess formed in the vehicle body panel. - In the above second publication, although the
wire harness 62 can be held on thereinforce 63, thereinforce 63 and thewire harness 62 can not be fixed to the vehicle body panel. Therefore, thereinforce 63 can not be mounted in a recess formed in a floor panel as is the case with the above first publication. - This invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and an object of the invention is to provide a clip structure as well as a wire-like member fixing method, in which a tubular member can be fixed to a mounting member in such a manner that the tubular member can be received in a recess formed in the mounting member, and at the same time a wire-like member can be fixed to the mounting member.
- According to the present invention, there is provided a clip structure for installing a wire-like member and a tubular member on a mounting member, characterized in that the clip structure includes a plate-like base portion, a wire-like member fixing portion which is formed on one side of the base portion so as to fix the wire-like member to the wire-like member fixing portion, and a tubular member fixing portion which is formed on the other side of the base portion so as to fix the tubular member to the tubular member fixing portion; and the base portion is mounted on the mounting member in such a manner that the tubular member, fixed to the tubular member fixing portion, can be received in a recess formed in the mounting member.
- One example of the wire-like member, recited in the described above, is a wire harness comprising a bundle of wires. Examples of the tubular member include a drain hose used for returning return fuel from a fuel supply system to a fuel tank, and a drain hose for discharging rain water from a sunroof lid. Examples of the mounting member include a floor panel and a dash lower panel which form a vehicle body panel.
- In the clip structure recited in the described above, the wire-like member is fixed to the wire-like member fixing portion in such a manner that when the base portion is mounted on the mounting member, the tubular member, fixed to the tubular member fixing portion, can be received in the recess formed in the mounting member. Therefore, the tubular member and the wire-like member can be simultaneously fixed to the mounting member in such a manner that the tubular member is not exposed to the exterior so as to prevent the crushing of the tubular member which would otherwise occur upon striking against other member.
- The clip structure of the invention of the described above is further provided in that the base portion has an arm portion projecting therefrom in a direction perpendicular to the wire-like member, fixed to the wire-like member fixing portion, and the tubular member fixed to the tubular member fixing portion; and a retaining portion for engagement with the mounting member is formed on the arm portion.
- In the clip structure recited in the described above, the retaining portion for retaining engagement with the mounting member is formed on the arm portion disposed perpendicularly to the wire-like member and the tubular member, and with this construction the wire-like member fixing portion, the tubular portion fixing portion and the arm portion with the retaining portion are formed with high rigidity, and therefore can prevent deformation such as bending or elastic deformation.

FIG. 7A is a view of a conventional clip structure different from the clip structure ofFIG. 6 , showing its appearance, andFIG. 7B is a cross-sectional view of the clip structure ofFIG. 7A . - A preferred embodiment of a clip structure of the present invention, as well as a wire-like member fixing method of the invention, will now be described in detail with reference to the drawings.
- As shown in
FIG. 1 , theclip 10, used in the clip structure and the wire-like member fixing method of the invention, mainly includes abase portion 11, aharness fixing portion 12, ahose fixing portion 13, and anarm portion 14. - The
base portion 11 includes abody 15 of a generally rectangular plate-shape made of a material with a certain degree of elasticity such for example as a polymeric material (e.g., a plastics material). Theharness fixing portion 12 is formed on an upper surface (or one side) of thebody 15. Theharness fixing portion 12 includes projections formed at opposite ends of thebody 15. A wire harness (wire-like member) 30, shown inFIG. 5 , is placed on theharness fixing portion 12, and then thewire harness 30 is bound with a binding band (not shown) or an adhesive tape in such a manner that the binding band or the adhesive tape is retained by the projections against withdrawal, and by doing so, thewire harness 30 can be fixed to theharness fixing portion 12 in a manner to extend in the direction of the length of thebody 15. - The
hose fixing portion 13 is formed on a lower surface (or the other side) of thebody 15 of thebase portion 11 at a central portion thereof. Thehose fixing portion 13 includes a pair of opposedhose holding plates hose holding plates body 15. When a drain hose (tubular member) 31, shown inFIG. 4 , is fitted between thehose holding plates hose fixing portion 13, thedrain hoes 31 is gripped by thehose holding plates hose fixing portion 13 in a manner to extend in the longitudinal direction of thebody 15. - The
arm portion 14 has a plate-like shape, and projects from the central portion of thebody 15 of thebase portion 11 in a direction generally opposite to the direction of projecting of thehose holding plates arm portion 14 is formed or molded integrally with thebody 15, and therefore has an increased rigidity. - As shown in
FIG. 2 , the distance between distal end portions of thehose holding plates drain hose 31 can be easily fitted between thehose holding plates retaining portion 17 is formed on a lower surface of thearm portion 14. The retainingportion 17 is an elastic piece portion of a generally arrowhead-shape, and can be fitted into anengagement hole 34 which is formed in a vehicle body panel 32 (shown inFIG. 5 ), and is disposed near to a drain hose-receivingrecess 33 in thevehicle body panel 32. A pair ofribs arm portion 14, and are disposed respectively at opposite sides of the retainingportion 17. When the retainingportion 17 is fitted into theengagement hole 34 in thevehicle body panel 32, the retainingportion 17 is retainingly engaged with a lower surface of thevehicle body panel 32, so that the retainingportion 17 and theribs vehicle body panel 32, cooperate with each other to fix theclip 10 onto thevehicle body panel 32. - As shown in
FIG. 3 , the projectingarm portion 14 is disposed perpendicularly to the wire harness 30 (fixed to the harness fixing portion 12) and the drain hose 31 (fixed to the hose fixing portion 13), and the retainingportion 17 is disposed at a region spaced from theharness fixing portion 12 in the direction of projecting of thearm portion 14. Therefore, theharness fixing portion 12, thehose fixing portion 13 and thearm portion 14 with the retainingportion 17 are formed with high rigidity, and therefore can prevent deformation such as bending or elastic deformation. And besides, the retainingportion 17 is formed at the region spaced from theharness fixing portion 12 in the direction of projecting of thearm portion 14 which is disposed perpendicularly to thewire harness 30 and thedrain hose 31, and therefore when the retainingportion 17 is to be fitted into theengagement hole 34 in thevehicle body panel 32, the retainingportion 17 can be easily brought into registry with theengagement hole 34, and therefore the efficiency of the operation can be enhanced. - Next, the operation for mounting the
clip 10 will be described with reference toFIGS. 4 and 5 . - The vehicle body panel 32 (which is the mounting member) on which the
clip 10 is mounted is a floor panel, a dash lower panel or the like. The drain hose-receivingrecess 33 is formed in thevehicle body panel 32, and the engagement hole 34 (shown inFIG. 5 ) is formed in thevehicle body panel 32, and is disposed near to therecess 33. Thewire harness 30 is the wire-like member comprising a bundle of wires. Thedrain hose 31 is the tubular member for returning return fuel from a fuel supply system to a fuel tank. - For effecting the mounting operation, first, the
wire harness 30 is placed on theharness fixing portion 12, and is fixed thereto by the binding band or the adhesive tape, and then thedrain hose 31 is fitted between thehose holding plates hose fixing portion 13, and is fixed to thehose fixing portion 13. - Then, the retaining
portion 17 of theclip 10 to which thedrain hose 31 and thewire harness 30 are fixed is fitted into theengagement hole 34 in thevehicle body panel 32. At this time, theclip 10 can take such a posture that thedrain hose 31 is disposed on the lower side of thearm portion 14. Therefore, theclip 10 is mounted on thevehicle body panel 32 in such a manner that thedrain hose 31, disposed on the lower side of thearm portion 14, is received in the drain hose-receivingrecess 33 in thevehicle body panel 32. Thus, thedrain hose 31 and thewire harness 30 can be simultaneously fixed to thevehicle body panel 32 in such a manner that thedrain hose 31 is not exposed to the exterior so as to prevent the crushing of thedrain hose 31 which would otherwise occur upon striking against other member. - When the retaining
portion 17 is fitted into theengagement hole 34 in thevehicle body panel 32, the retainingportion 17 is retainingly engaged with the lower surface of thevehicle body panel 32, and at the same time theribs vehicle body panel 32, and therefore theclip 10 is fixed onto thevehicle body panel 32 against withdrawal. - As described above, in the clip structure employing the
clip 10, thewire harness 30 is fixed to theharness fixing portion 12 in such a manner that when thebase portion 11 is attached to thevehicle body panel 32, thedrain hose 31, fixed to thehose fixing portion 13, can be received in the drain hose-receivingrecess 33. Therefore, thedrain hose 31 and thewire harness 30 can be simultaneously fixed to thevehicle body panel 32 in such a manner that thedrain hose 31 is not exposed to the exterior so as to prevent the crushing of thedrain hose 31 which would otherwise occur upon striking against other member. - In the clip structure employing the
clip 10, the retainingportion 17 for retaining engagement with thevehicle body panel 32 is formed on thearm portion 14 disposed perpendicularly to thewire harness 30 and thedrain hose 31, and with this construction theharness fixing portion 12, thehose fixing portion 13 and thearm portion 14 with the retainingportion 17 are formed with high rigidity, and therefore can prevent deformation such as bending or elastic deformation. - In the clip structure employing the
clip 10, the retainingportion 17 for retaining engagement with thevehicle body panel 32 is formed at the region spaced from theharness fixing portion 12 in the direction of projecting of thearm portion 14 which is disposed perpendicularly to thewire harness 30 and thedrain hose 31. Therefore, when the retainingportion 17 is to be retainingly engaged with thevehicle body panel 32, the retainingportion 17 can be easily brought into registry with theengagement hole 34 formed in thevehicle body panel 32, and therefore the efficiency of the operation can be enhanced. - The invention is not limited to the above embodiment, and suitable modifications, improvements and so on can be made. For example, the harness fixing portion can be so modified that a plurality of wire harnesses can be fixed thereto, and similarly the hose fixing portion can be so modified that a plurality of drain hoses can be fixed thereto. In such a case, preferably, an increased number of hose holding plates are formed.
- The number of the retaining portion is not limited to one, and two (a pair of) or more retaining portions can be formed. With such a construction, the positioning of the arm portion relative to the vehicle body panel can be more positively effected. In order to avoid the increased time and labor for the operation, one retaining portion and one projection can be provided instead of providing two retaining portions, in which case the retaining portion and the projection are fitted respectively into two engagement holes in the vehicle body panel.
- In view of the easier molding of the clip, the clip can be made of a synthetic rubber or the like.
